Fighter jet ("birds") at take off:
1- Bathing Dove Air Force attack fighter.
2- Navy Tomcat being shot off a carrier deck in the frozen north.
Okay- only two more after today and this nonsense will end .
Alas- I have other nonsense in mind.
Sorry Charlie

Thanks Douglas, David and Jonathan.
I also am fascinated by the blue ice of glaciers and icebergs. What causes it is the ice is so highly compressed that it breaks sunlight into the colors of the rainbow. The longer light waves are NOT reflected, but the shorter- blue- light waves ARE reflected, so we see it as blue ice.

Thanks, Ron- no funny-smelling stuff involved; just a few sips of premium wine-in-a-box (made from grape-like fruit that was crushed by bare-foot athletes on their ways home after showering at the local YMCA).

Thanks Eric, Ken Collette, Ken Munroe and Chris.
As I've said before- "If I can't dazzle with brilliance, I'll baffle with B.S."
Broad-billed heron? Hmmmm- yes, I like that.
Actually, Chris- I like these as bergy-bit images, but I'm still looking through my closet for something different in the way of "real" wildlife shots. That's where the grape-like wine comes into play .
